A while ago I conducted a non-scientific (but still eye-opening!) poll.
I asked a bunch of people who had a regular workout routine WHY they exercised.
A lot of these people were in their 60s, 70s, and beyond, and most of them had been working out for decades.
Their answer: The mood and mental health benefits!
There is REAL science to back that up. We usually associate cardio with lifting your spirits, but it turns out strength training is also a MAJOR mood and mental health booster.
Studies show that strength training can help with:
-
Less anxiety
-
Lower depression
-
Sharper thinking
-
Better memory
-
More energy & less chronic fatigue
-
Better sleep
-
More confidence and self-esteem
-
Plus an even longer list of physical health benefits
Still, if you’ve never tried strength training before, getting started can seem a little intimidating.
That’s why in my Strength and Balance Class on Thursday’s at 12:30pm ET, I ease you into strength training. You will not only feel stronger but longer and stretched out.
